A troubled
night falls on Ravenwood, an otherwise picturesque neighborhood surrounded by
dark trees. Teenagers whisper as recent events have proven
the rumors of “dark curses” and “revenge” to be true. Run for your life and don't
look back because Evil Spares None.

Evil Spares None is a 2-4 player cooperative survival horror game that takes about 90 minutes to play. Live out a thrilling horror movie as your characters are stalked by an unstoppable masked psychopath. Evil Spares None is looking for supporters through Kickstarter so that we can get killer artwork, high quality materials, and a chance for contributors to join in the fun. See below for a description of the rewards!

24 Hour Countdown Stretch Goal: If the Evil Spares None Kickstarter reaches $12,500 (a nice 250% of original expectations), every donor at the Player level (the base copy of the game) gets the Chainsaw and Party Keg Kickstarter Promo cards that Risk Taker and above get, because it's time for this party to get a little crazy and we don't want you to miss out.

Kickstarter Promos

What if you were already getting the Party Keg and Chainsaw? Well your party is about to turn deadly (or deadlier). Everyone at Risk Taker and above still get the Party Keg and Chainsaw and in addition get the Psycrow's own handy pair of steel rib ticklers. Yes, turn those talons back on the Psychopath. This card was meant as a treat for my friends, but screw'em. (Note: I'm kidding, please don't screw my friends).

If Evil Spares None reaches $12,000, every backer who pledged at least 35$ or more will get a plastic mini of the Psycrow - the demented teen mascot with a grudge against his classmates. Since plastic production would slow down development the mini will be delivered separately at a later date, guesstimatingly before Christmas, so as not to ruin your Halloween.

Also, anyone who pledged at the player level ($25 for a copy of the game) before the Kickstarter ends and wants one can order it separately, for 50% off (predicted to be $3.00, down from the $6.00 total given models of comparable size).

Also Also, if Evil Spares None doesn't reach its stretch goal of $12,000, and your heart is broken that you can't hold terror in the palm of your hand, the mini will then be available separately for a predicted $6.00 through the magic of on-demand prototype printing (It'd be a shame for a good model to go to waste).

Psychotic Platypus - I mean, Crow

The goal of the game is for players to survive until
dawn while the Psychopath hunts down you and your friends. While on the
run, your characters can come across crime scenes and gather evidence to hand over
to the authorities and add to their investigation. Meanwhile, the Psychopath, independently controlled by a deck of cards, is busy adding to his score
by killing and stealing evidence. If the player’s investigation reaches
16 points first, they have a chance to defeat and destroy the Psychopath
permanently. If they fail, well then it’s a mad dash race for the
exit, go ahead and throw your friends in the path of the enraged
unstoppable madman.

Game Layout - Unsexy Prototype Version

The Map

The path that the players travel is a linear sequence of map
tiles, each one representing a different location. While there will
always be a path, there could be dead ends, locked doors, and out of the way
areas great for playing “Seven Minutes in Heaven” or for hiding from a
slobbering psychopath. The map will only be 2 tiles wide, if another map
is added, the oldest one disappears, placing whoever is on it in mortal danger,
so the pressure is on to run for your life.

The Risk

So what if you
don’t care about the Investigation? Life’s too short man, to be worried,
live a little. Those players who aren’t goody-goody brown-nosers can
linger around and use Risk cards. Risk cards are everything your parents
told you not to do. They gain bonuses when player in areas off the main
path, so find a nice corner and have some cheap beer, smokes, and a little
hanky-panky to score points just for yourself. Let the others figure out
who put a hatchet through your classmate’s skull, you just raided your old
man’s top shelf stuff. Be aware, that the more you use Risk cards, the
more the Psychopath takes a particular interest in you.

A few tools to let you survive the night.

The Stalk-O-Meter

The Stalk-O-Meter
is a queue line for who the Psychopath is stalking. Think of it as his
“to-do” list, but instead of “do” it’s “kill brutally”. The Psychopath
always makes a direct path towards his target, wherever they may be.
Certain Action cards that the player’s draw can rearrange the
Stalk-O-Meter. Like pointing out how Bernadette has nice new, flimsy high
heels.

​The Psychopath

The Psychopath is
controlled by a deck of cards. After each player’s turn, they draw a card
that determines, what the psychopath does to his target (determined by the
Stalk-O-Meter). The Psychopath Deck is dynamic and changes based on how
many chopped up corpses are on his body pile (i.e. “Score”). At first,
some cards have no action giving you just enough breathing space to think you
have a handle on things and you might make it out alive. Then boom,
he bursts in at the worst time and spins about the room like a chainsaw
ballerina. Once the Psychopath gains enough points, he can activate powers
such as smashing through walls, rising from the dead, and appearing right
behind you.

Want to set the mood for your game? At the Risk Taker Contribution level (see below or to the right) you can be the author of your own demise. Using the lines that you the contributors give us, and the unbridled talents of improvisors in the Philadelphia area, we
will turn Evil Spares None a boardgame about a non-existing Horror movie into a
boardgame about a real NIGHTMARE. We
will turn your lines and character names into an audio play of which we will
record for an audio track to accompany your board game night. Become part of the mythos, plot revenge in
the sequels, cite obscure dorky references.
A game about a horror movie needs plenty of schlock.

The calls are coming...from inside the radio!

Think you got what it takes to survive?

Submit a photo of yourself, or a friend with their permission (no spiting others, this is a gentleman's horror movie, not a madhouse). We will send your picture to our artist and turn your likeness into a character for the game, complete with strength and intellect stats (though a very high tech process of estimation) and create a unique ability for your character. It's up to you to see if you can survive a night in the nightmare zone while playing with yourself?(there is no innuendo in the nightmare zone)

Could this be you?

Level 1: Sponsor

Sponsor - 5$ - Sponsors get a signed card of thanks! Your contribution helps make this game a reality, and the letter will include a game card from the prototype version, signed by the creators as a thanks for your support. See how the game began as crazy scibblings on cardstock.

Level 2: Player

Player - 25$ - Boom, have a copy of the game for $5 less than the projected final price! (See Development) Each level includes all rewards listed previously, so you'll also have a signed card of thanks, and a prototype card - see how it all changed from the beginning. If we reach our goals, delivery is expected in time for Halloween. What a scary, odd coincidence?

Level 3: Risk Taker

Risk Taker - 35$ - Think you can handle it? Prove you aren’t squeamish. Be a Risk Taker! This level includes all previous levels and a special exclusive bonus of the Chainsaw weapon and Party Keg card. The Chainsaw, unwieldy horror movie classic, is a devastating melee weapon, that needs a bit of revving to get ready and does quite a bit of collateral damage. The Party Keg provides extra risky bonuses to all characters present.

Contributors at this level can also contribute several lines of dialog or character names, and we will form Evil Spares None - the audio play, performed by improvisers in Philadelphia. This soundtrack will be provided on CD (or other more modern media forms if you prefer) to accompany your game nights. Spoiler alert, most sound effects will be stabbing and gurgling noises.

Level 4: Horror Fan

Horror Fan - 45$ - Now this is getting scary; Horror Fans get everything mentioned so far: Sponsor thanks, a copy of the game, Bonus Items, Evil Spares None - the Audio track, and in addition a Kickstarter exclusive Psychopath to test out your Chainsaw.

Night of the Necromonger includes an alternate Psychopath profile card with 7 additional ability cards. Technically he’s not a zombie, he’s “disensouled”, I tried to ask him what that meant but he just hurled Ghost Skulls at me. Learn more about the Necromonger.

Level 5: Fight Master

Fright Master - 60$ - Hungry for
more? Be a Fright Master, and venture
out into the forests surrounding the Town of Ravenwood and meet Big Country
Stu, an avid hunter and meat enthusiast.

“Campfire Feast” expansion when it is released for free!
Campfire Feast adds 4 more Map tiles, more Victims, and another Psychopath Card with 7 additional ability cards. Campfire Feast release is expected around November, just in time for a good hearty meal. Learn more about good ol' Country Stu.

Level 6: Patron of Darkness

Patron of Darkness - $125, Limit 20 – Immersive to
another degree, enter the game and be a Patron of Darkness! Think you
have what it takes? At this level,
we will make you a victim character in the game. This level also includes all previous listed rewards.

Contributors may provide a headshot of yourself or someone you
hate know with their expressed permission our artists will create a character in the matching style and we will create a unique character ability. Double points when drinking beer? Immune to Hanky Panky? What qualitites do you think you have that'll let you survive a horror movie? Abilities will be balanced for gameplay
purposes, I’m sorry no chainsaw hands unless you can prove they are for
decoration only.

Level 7 - Insatiable

Insatiable - 500$, Limit 10 - Let me thank
you just for reading this and even considering it. You are Insatiable. Insatiable Contributors will get everything
previously mentioned, and all future expansions for FREE when they are released. This includes all future Psychopaths to be
added for the game. You will be in the games rulebook as a founding member of Ravenwood. You will go down in history. This level includes all previously mentioned rewards, meaning your character will be in the game, with chainsaws fending off necromancers and cannibal hillbillies. We are planning on
adding a demonic platypus once we can think up enough scary monotreme-based puns.

Mood Killer.
